Steve how can I promise to acquire "some things" you are looking for? This is an
open ended mission fraught with difficulties. You know my word is my bond. Would
you have me searching Siberia in midwinter for your "Manual for the Russian
Version of the handheld Mattel Computer chess"? And would I recognise it if I
saw it? :(

You have the list of my humble collection. Apart from my most recent
acquisitions. If there is anything there that is worthy of a great collector
just say.

I was thinking of making you a generous cash offer, on behalf of another fine
collector, based on my formula:- Offer = G -20% -L% -A% -B%. Something in your
reply tells me this would not be welcomed.

Alas. I think I have only buffooneries to offer :(

Running on empty
Mike
